Jamtara is named after “Jai Maa Tara”, the Goddess of bravery. Jamtara had been a sub-division in erstwhile Bihar state. After the mutiny in 1885 in Santhal Pargana areas under leadership of Sidhu Kanhu and Chand Bherav, there was a state of utter administrative chaos in Santhat Pargana. The administrative governance from Seuri of Birbhum district proved to be uncontrolled one, thus then Governor General of British India, Lord Cornwallis, on the direction of the British crown created a separate region called “Santhal Pargana” . Sensing the mood of local inhabitance this region was later carved out as a District having headquarter at Dumka under special law called XXXVII. Dumka sadar, Deoghar, Godda and Raj Mahal were made sub- divisions immediately. Jamtara area was attached with Deoghar while Pakur with Raj Mahal sub-division. Later on, due to distance from sub divisional head quarter and effective administrative control, Jamtara was made a sub-division in 1879. Mr. F.E. Pfeffed was made the first S.D.O. of Jamtara sub-division. Jamtara remained a sub-division for 123 years. After the formation of Jharkhand state, its first Chief Minister Sri Babulal Marandi announced the creation of Jamtara at historic Gandhi Maidan on 24th September, 2000 and subsequently inaugurated on 26th April 2001 as the 21st district of Jharkhand state.

Jamtara district was previously affected with the extremist activities, taking place in its bordering areas such as Ahilyapur P.S. of Giridih district in the west and Tundi P.S. of Dhanbad district. Although some initial stages of naxalite activities have been reported from the Eastern part of the district, there has not been any report of the movement of armed naxalite bands. However there are sporadic reports of the movement, stay and meetings of armed extremist groups of 20-30 persons from the western past of the district (Narayanpur P.S.). Thus the bordering areas of Narayanpur P.S. and Kundahit P.S. are affected with Naxalite activities, where this movement is trying to set roots. To counter such activities, effective measures are taken by gathering information through L.R.P., S.R.P. and community policing . In this context, taking the help of the west Bengal police, wanted criminal Jitendra Nath Bhandari, S/O (Late) Sharat Chandra Bhandari, resident of vill. Jaipur, P.S. Rajnagar, dist- Birbhum (W.Bengal) was arrested from his house. He was wanted under case No. 63/06 dated 28.08.2006 of Kundahit P.S. under sec. 17 C.L.A. Act and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967 Sec. 10 /13. According to previous information, this person was engaged in organizational activities in favor of CPI (Maoist). He, along with his co-workers, was active, now and then, in writing posters. On the basis of confessional statement of the above mentioned accused Jitendra Nath Bhandari, raids were carried out in vill- Jitudih, and vill- Asnalia under Kundahit P.S. Raids were carried out on the houses of (1) Madan Koda, S/O (Late) Mahadev Koda (aged about 55 years), (2) Sadhu Charan Ghosh, S/O Amulyo Ratan Ghosh (aged about 55 years), and (3) Mantu Bagti, S/O Jyoti Bagti. In course of the raids and search operations huge quantities of Extremist literature and brushes for writing posters were recovered. Mantu Bagti was successful in escaping but Madan Koda and Sadhu Charan Ghosh were arrested and sent to jail. During the interrogation of and on the basis of the confessional statements of the accused, it has come to light that the CPI (Maoist) has been trying to strengthen its organization in the areas of Jamtara district bordering W. Bengal. For this they have organized “KRANTIKARI KISSAN Committee” and “ MAHILA MUKTI MANCH” in five villages of Kundahit P.S. namely Jhabda, Dolabar, Fara Kusum, Mangraidih and Shrimatdih. In Phootberia Golpur and Belejor area of Masalia P.S., dist- Dumka organizational activities were taking place . It is reported that a person named Kanchan Singh from Giridih and some persons and ladies from West Bengal visit there areas time to time and help & organize these activities. On the basis of these informations obtained from the arrested persons, recovery of banned literature and case no. 110/07 dated 27.09.2007 of Kundahit P.S. under Sec. 17 C.L.A. Act & 10/13 Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967, investigations are being carried out. Helped by the statements of arrested persons, effective steps are being taken to curb the propaganda activities of M.C.C.(I) organization.
